We are so excited to announce the next installment in Havoc's Sour Series: Bee Proud, Orange Cassis Sour Mead.
Orange cassis is a Japanese cocktail made with black currant liqueur and orange juice, and this mead includes both tastes. We are timing the release to coincide with Pride Month, because that deserves celebration, and we will be contributing a portion of our profits from Bee Proud to one of our local LBGTQ+ charities! Ricky the Meadmaker wrote this letter about what Pride means to us as a company last year.
But a new mead needs a new label, and like with previous Havoc Sour Series, we need your help!
First prize is $100, and your artwork on every can of Bee Proud, Orange Cassis Sour Mead.
To participate, please read the guidelines below and email a high-resolution image of your submission along with your full name, phone number, and the title of the work to marketing@groennfell.com.
Deadline for submissions is May 26, 2022. Voting will run through May 30th, and the new label will be announced on May 31st.
We encourage you to consider the theme of "Bee Proud" and the flavors of this mead as you create your design.
Your design does not need to be digital (Sour Meadmaker's design was an oil painting), but you do need to be able to submit a high-resolution version of it to us digitally via email.
